Question

In a company, if 40 workers can make 50 bags in 4 days, then how many bags will 24 workers will make in 8 days ?

• A. 60
• B. 40
• C. 54
• D. 45

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 60

Work is proportional to (number of workers × number of days).

So,
$\text{Bags} \propto \text{Workers} \times \text{Days}$
$\text{Required bags} = 50 \times \frac{24}{40} \times \frac{8}{4}$
$= 50 \times \frac{24}{40} \times 2$
$= 50 \times \frac{48}{40} = 50 \times 1.2 = 60$

Number of bags = 60
